Thanks for the suggestion of the McClelland: the local place doesn't have Dark Star, but had some others from them that were supposed to be similar. I picked up a tin of McClelland English blend and one of a vanilla Cavendish from a company called Lane. It smells amazing.

I too have a pipe dedicated to...non tobacco use, but obviously don't want to mix the two. ;)

My wife gave me a pipe a few years ago and I loved it. A little too much, actually, and I got rid of it. Another thirty years and I'll probably pick it up again.

At the time I lived a block away from a great smoke shop so I sampled a hell of a lot of aromatics. Schild is right about McClelland Dark Star. Their vanalla black cavendish and Mellow Mack are also good. Other noteworthy aromatics: anything by Boswell (Christmas Cookie, Hunter's Choice, Cupcake), Lane Limited BCA and my favorite Dan Tobacco Blue Note.

Using the Aspire Cleito which is the 'just before you go full geek' tank by Aspire, and it works well. It eats through battery & juice rather fast tho, so if that's a concern I'd go with a non sub ohm tank. A middle ground between the Cleito and the Nautilus would be the Atlantis, the tank Signe references.

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something.

I used the Atlantis non-stop for a year or so. I didn't like the change to the coils in early 2016 though. It was probably imperceptible to most people, but since I only vape like the same 3 flavors (and have been for almost 3 years), I noticed immediately.

I don't mess with flavours much anymore, either. I mostly use a strong tobacco flavour mixed with a bit of Catch Ya Latte from VaporFi. Anyone else use a tobacco flavour? I'm always looking for a good one.

I'm still using Ola X Heroes, need to buy a few more before they go off the market completely. Essentially, the tech plateaued about 3 years ago, and since then it's just been stylistic shifts (and the Ola X Hero was just a very nice design, technically and aesthetically, IMO, although being steel it is quite heavy). I did switch from Innokin iClear30 tanks to the Innokin T22, which is essentially the same thing in glass and stainless steel rather than aluminum and polycarbonate, it can even use the same cores.

Still mixing my own, shifted to Carellas flavorings instead of Lor-Ann, but still fruit flavors with drops of something else to add complexity.

Wake up!!! I had a coupon for a run of the mill pen so I decided to use it and get one for emergencies and keep it in the car. I thought I'd try a diff juice, something other than tobacco or coffee... suggestions? Also, anyone find new bits and/or bobs to fiddle around with?

Can you guys recommend a decent quality, low maintenance system? My GF vapes, but is having problems with cheaper systems breaking down quite often. If you have any suggestions on tanks/systems for CBD use, that would be great as well.

Thanks.

Larger kits don't improve performance as so much as hold a bit more juice and of course, you can fiddle with the wattage/voltage to get different vapor volume/temperature/air intake, etc, but that's for when your wife's willing to invest in a nicer kit and is 'committed' to the habit.
